FAQ

What kind of software does a navigation system have?

The software of Navigation systems is similar to that of home computers; it uses a software system, in the same way that a home computer uses Windows 7 for example. in addition, navigation systems also use map or country software. The system software guarantees the structure, the technique and the sound working of the navigation system. The country software gives all the data related to cities, streets and house numbers down to the smallest details, as well as other information concerning the width of the roads, the average and maximum speed allowed, the location of red lights and radar cameras, the configuration of crossings, roundabouts and exits, and also the points of interest along the way.

How recent and up to date are the maps?

We buy the map updates from the producers Navteq and Teleatlas. We do not produce or develop this software. The date indicated on the product is the date of the first marketing of the product and does not mean that the map data were updated up to that precise date. In fact, a minimum of 3 to 6 months elapse between the collection of the actual data and the final availability of the product as a new map. After that, the automobile industry needs on average 9 to 12 extra months in order to launch the new map on the market. Furthermore, the producers of these maps never guarantee a 100% coverage of the roads.

What are the advantages of map updates?

The advantages of driving with the most up to date maps are plentiful:
• You save on travelling time. The precision level of the maps makes it possible to find the better and the most efficient way to reach your destination. Missing addresses are overcome as much as possible and the last changes in the roads are covered.
• You save costs, not only on petrol, but also on time. You loose a lot of time (and money) searching for a unknown location.
• You arrive on time to your meetings.
• You stress yourself less. nothing is more annoying than to take a wrong turn and suddenly find yourself in an unexpected traffic jam. We all know too well how that feels like, especially when you're already running late.
• You have a higher level of safety, with less or no unexpected delays. You know where you are driving and you know on time what to expect.
• You get more and more reasons to increase the pleasure of driving, through the ever growing Points of Interest.
